From the time he was little, Ratterree’s family was involved in racing. He grew up watching his dad race Late Models in California and North and South Carolina, and his dad also worked as a body man and painter for Tri Star Motorsports driver Bobby Hamilton in the Sprint Cup series in the early 90s. By the time he was 10, Ratterree began racing BMX bikes. He has also raced motorcycles, go-karts, Outlaw Karts, Mini Sprints, Bombers, Modifieds and Late Models. He started racing a Winged Sprint mid-way through last season.
Why he races: “It’s just always what I’ve done. It’s what I do for fun. It’s what I like to do,” Ratterree said. “... My dad raced all the time when I was growing up so I’ve always been around it. My family has always been into it.”
Racing aspirations: “I just started racing Sprintcars and that’s kind of opened up a whole new world of stuff to do,” he said. “I’d like to go run some USAC races and some different stuff with the Sprintcars outside of Meridian Speedway and see where it goes from there.”
